Hello everyone I just thouhgt I would give you my thoughts on what I Ho Chuan is for me. I Ho Chuan for me is an event that gives you the chance to grow, a chance to improve yourself, a chance to change your environment and the people around you, a chance for failure, a chance for sucess, a chacne to get an opportunity, achance to make an opportunity, a chance to become extraordinary, a chance to witness the extraordinary, a chance to build new relationships, a chance to mend old ones, a chance to become more mindful of your actions and of those around you, a chance to make a difference.
These are all things that I belive I Ho Chuan to be and there is most likely more to add, but for now this is all I can think of right now; if you have your own you would like to add feel free to add in the comments.
I Ho Chuan for me is always the most craziest ride I have ever been on, ever year that I have been apart of this amazing opprotunity, I have experienced all of the things I listed above. Every year the list to what I Ho Chuan is to me grows bigger. Although I have experienced all of these things, I remind myself that none of this was possible if I did not apply myself, or jump on the opprotunity that I Ho Chaun offers me. No ones forces you to do anything, but the amount of opprotunitys given are amazing. I know that it is up to me to take the opprotunitys given to me and try and use it to the best of my abilities. This part is what I would call individual growth.
Some of my best memories in I Ho Chuan is when I have been apart of the demos and the dragon, and a new one for me this year the lion. Doing the lion this year has been a humbling experience. I have always had great respect for lion dancers, and now it has grown immensely. I used to think lion dancers just did whatever they wanted and the drummer was at the mercy at what the lion did, but it is so much more than that. Being a lion dancer is all about communication between you the audience and the drummer. There is a way the lion moves and dances that tells a story to everyone wacthing you. The loin lets you know how it is doing, when it is excited, when it is curious, when it is aggressive, and so much more. I Ho Chuan gave me this opportunity to experience such an amazing adventure. This part I would call social growth.
I Ho Chuan is always amazing for me and I don't know how my life would be like now without it. I really don't know how I lived my life pre I Ho Chuan. Well that is everything I have to say for now so remember stay extraordinary.
Also I was asked to repost this for when the new I Ho Chuan year started so here it is http://randylangner789.blogspot.ca/2014/11/hello-numbers.html all about those numbers.
